Description

I do like a lot “AMS Risers” available in Makerworld, however I wanted something that would allow me to include attachments, so I included 6 hexagons on each side for 6x3 round magnets and also included 4 holes for M3 heatsets, which would allow you to securely mount other parts you want to design. I designed an AMS riser to attach on the rear parts (I have included normal and inverted parts, the inverted parts allows the AMS to sit further back on top of the X1.

The Riser also allows LED strips to be used for better lighting inside the chamber. I have included a hole for a USB-C female connector to power the LED strip (if using 5V strips). I also use a switch button on the front so I can manually turn the lights on and off (having the printer control the lights for me wasn't a requirement at the moment). I have also included diffusers to

I have uploaded the 3mf and the STEP file if you want to design your own accessories, that's why I call it utility belt in favor of “riser” or top hat.

BOM:
- USB-C Charger Plug Socket

- Led Strip Lights 5V 6000k white

- 12mm Prewired Push Button Latching

I printed mine in Inland Silver ABS, it matches 99% the silver used in the plastic colors of the Bambu X1C.

Edit 03/06/24: uploaded 2 calibration STLs so you dont have to print the full corners and find out fitment issues later.

I love the minimalistic simplicity of this model. if I could rate 6 stars I would! thank you for your work.

Yours turned out awesome. Do you remember how long it took one corner where you did multi color?

@OCDTOOLFREAK

Replying to @DoubleT :

No I did it all in 2 plates. One was 17hrs an the other that had just 2 corners took like 8 or 9 hrs

This was an easy print! All the pieces fit together, very snuggly! I love that it allows me to move the top glass lid off for ventilation

Thank you for the feedback

@reydeldesigns

I like that filament gray look which one is it??...matches the X1C aesthetically. You used 3 different colors correct?

ich habe alles auf zwei Druckplatten bekommen. Super Rahmen und perfekt für die LED Beleuchtung vorbereitet. wozu die dünen Rahmen sind verstehe ich nicht. ansonsten perfekt

@DoubleT

what filament did you use?

@UweIntegrale92

i use the eSun PLA+ in the Color Silver

Great design! Parts fit perfectly together, and i mean perfectly. Not a single print issue at all. Assembly was a breeze. Lighting setup is perfect and complete 10 outta 10 on this one!

Thank you for the feedback. Prints look beautiful.

This is am awesome design but I suggest printing the ends first to make sure it will fit together. It needed significant blows with a hammer ... as you guessed the design split the layers at the end. I didn't test print the joints only prior by splitting the model up. I think the design should be updated with a slightly more gap in the mating parts. I printed it on the X1 Carbon. I ended up abandoning the project. Again the design is awesome looking. Kudos to the designer.

I will be uploading tonight 2 stls for printing and test printer calibration. When I printed mine I used Generic ABS with flow calibration on the X1. the parts fit very well, using just finger force to slide the parts together. I was actually surprised it worked at first but I will publish calibration STLs tonight. Looking at your pictures, the corners, the hexagons, it doesn’t look like your are using a calibrated filament or good print profile. I do not have any of those artifacts on my prints

Replying to @DoubleT :

I would like to remind you and everyone this is such a cool design! Yes, I checked for artifacts. I could tell it was going to be snug so I got the knife and file out. By design the join is not easily workable and I figured it wouldn't work but I had nothing to loose. With the X1 Carbon it self adjusts with with the lidar flow calibration which was calibrated for the filament ... but maybe not. I guess I don't remember if it was checked on that run. Anywho, I know from first hand as an experience as a FDM designer (I am an engineer by trade) with 10+ years experience this is special process (I am not saying you don't have experience, I have no idea, I am just trying to validate my opinion). Back in 2014 when I started my print far printing LEGO train tracks of unique designs that I custom made I became vary familiar with the art of making consistent joints for 3D printers. With LEGO parts it is very important to designing for FDM shrinkage. IMO the design needs a tad more gap. The great thing is with the X1C it self calibrates which makes consistency on the printer end so much nicer than the old days with my QIDI Tech 1 that doesn't offer self calibration. Remember, the print doesn't calibrate for shrinkage rather for consistency. The design must take in account plastic shrinks arounds holes, bends, etc. My point is only to provide others with a method to ensure a successful print. In short print a test joint first. Cheers, Pat

Thank you so much for this riser, it's easy to prints, parts fit perfectly and even when I didn't install my old led stripe as instructed, it still looks good

Worked perfect. Added a din rail to the side for a power supply I had laying around.

Needed a simple and effective AMS riser solution with LEDs for improved lighting. This design fit perfectly. Printing (ABS) and assembly went without a hitch. Koodos to the designer!
